REGISTRAR INTEGRITY ALERT — NiceNIC !!! NiceNIC International: over 90% of its registered domains are associated with illegal content; documented systematic abuse-report non-response.

This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file for audit but no formal notice was sent. ## TIMELINE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Domain registered: 2026-06-15 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration) First detected: 2026-06-28 20:47:19 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker) First reported: 2026-06-28 18:50:57 UTC (abuse notice filed) Last verified: 2026-06-29 20:20:35 UTC Neutralised: 2026-06-29 00:18:17 UTC Current status: taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead) ## EXTERNAL CORROBORATION (third-party evidence) ---------------------------------------------------------------- URLScan.io: https://urlscan.io/result/019f0f8d-c523-7099-968d-3c74532ad4c1/ URLQuery: https://urlquery.net/report/cb37b681-adca-4003-bb44-835fcde312ca Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/taxoeqzx.sbs crt.sh CT logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.taxoeqzx.sbs Google transparency: https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=taxoeqzx.sbs AlienVault OTX: https://otx.alienvault.com/indicator/domain/taxoeqzx.sbs URLhaus: https://urlhaus.abuse.ch/host/taxoeqzx.sbs/ ## ANALYST NARRATIVE ---------------------------------------------------------------- [Generated: 2026-06-28 20:54:43 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.] This domain, taxoeqzx.sbs, poses a significant threat as it impersonates the legitimate Telegram service. Users who navigate to this site are at risk of falling victim to a phishing attack, which could lead to the theft of their login credentials or other sensitive information. The site may appear legitimate, but it is designed to deceive and should be treated with caution. Analysis indicates that taxoeqzx.sbs is flagged by 14 out of 95 security vendors on VirusTotal, suggesting that it has been identified as a potential threat by a notable portion of the security community. The domain was created on June 15, 2026, and is registered through NICENIC INTERNATIONAL GROUP CO., LIMITED. The SSL certificate for the site is also suspiciously issued under the name 'Telegram,' further indicating an attempt to mimic the real Telegram service. If a user has visited taxoeqzx.sbs, they should immediately change their Telegram account password and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) if not already done. It is also advisable to run a full system scan using reputable antivirus software to check for any malware that may have been installed. Users should report any suspicious activity to Telegram's official support channels and monitor their accounts for any unauthorized access or transactions. ## EVIDENCE HASHES ---------------------------------------------------------------- PhishDestroy Case ID: PD-20260628-76E44D Favicon MD5: 1635ed0e8715c40d4bed875b7494a93a TLS cert SHA-256: a39ad1071199c519e25f995fcae74224681acb88b7a564642bce07341f486f4c ## SCORING METHODOLOGY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates: - VirusTotal positive ratio - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus, CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB) - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor) - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.) - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording) - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures) - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...) - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal) - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record) - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team) A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite score and the individual indicators above, not just VT. ## CORRECTIONS / APPEALS ---------------------------------------------------------------- Full HTML report: https://phishdestroy.io/domain/taxoeqzx.sbs/ JSON API: https://api.destroy.tools/v1/check?domain=taxoeqzx.sbs Appeal a flag: https://phishdestroy.io/appeals/ (responded to within 48 hours, FP rate <0.01%) Submit a report: https://t.me/PhishDestroy_bot About PhishDestroy: volunteer-driven open-source threat-intelligence platform.
